Winery Review: Bright light straw colour with some green hues, this wine has a lush ripe tropical fruit aroma. This is a fuller bodied white which fills the mouth with heady flavours of apricot, peach and citrys, Angove Nine Vines Viognier is perfect for today’s relaxed life-style and is the ideal accompaniment to grilled prawns with chili and garlic or roast pork.

My Review:  This wine was SO MUCH MORE DESIRABLE than the Yealands Estate Sauv. Blanc. This wine had a relatively bright straw color. Overall, this wine was bland in comparison to the aforementioned wine.  I got notes of spice and smoke in this wine. These features mellowed out with yellow plum and stone fruit flavors.  This wine wasn’t very dry and finishes crisp and clean.

With food?: I tried this wine on its own, without food.
